    4 possessions.

    He uses the D end of the floor to justify the decision. But that does nothing to explain why, with 9 seconds remaining and we have possession, down 2, he isn't in the game. Defense isn't the concern at that point. Pretty difficult for me to understand that decision. Those final two offensive...

    Quick question

    I think it has to do with deep penetration in the paint?

    Not the same as others, though. Dozens of Grade A scoring chances. Just couldn’t get it over the red line. Lots to like about the game. Kaprizov with a goal and assist, and lots of star quality play. Also one horrible play that gave away a breakaway and a back-breaking goal. He needs to stop...

    I wouldn’t give up just yet on this team. (Not saying you are.) Boldy has looked great in his two games back. Kaprizov will produce- I like the new look of him with Rossi (who, I agree, is buzzing out there) and Boldy. Foligno needs to play better. Right now, he’s good for a strong hit, but not...

    Their PK is really bad. That said, we need to copy New Jersey’s power play approach. It’s all about redirects.

    Kaprizov -3, Zuc -2, Hartman -2 - those guys need to play better D Brodin and Faber also both -2, but also 1 & 3 in TOI.

    Brock Faber is arguably our best defenseman at this point. He led the team last night in Time on Ice for the 4th time in 6 games. He was +2 last night and is +4 on the season. With Spurgeon missing significant time, Faber picking up right where he left off last season - when he immediately...

    Suzanne Somers has died at age 76

    Roper ripping on his wife, then smirking at the camera was classic.

    Tour of Spain (La Vuelta) - Bicycling

    I sent your post to a buddy who lives and breathes this stuff. His response: Ya, internal team politics. Primos is a really good rider, a champion of several grand tours. And champions like to win. The biggest issue is, if Primos wants to race Tour, he’ll need to go to another team. Jonas has...

    Coco played an incredible match. Sabalenka has such a powerful game and her power is supercharged when she can play inside the baseline with relentless pressure on her opponent. But Coco adjusted well and put more depth on her shots, keeping Sabalenka behind the baseline, where she was more...

    BS is a gunslinger! Two doubles to give a set point? No problem. Then blows him away in the 4th. Go Maddie Keys!!

    Yeah, no clue if anyone is hacked off. I do know that due had struck out 4 times in 4 PAs until he hit that homer. Could have been more about that than anything.

    CBS: Candid Coaches: Which on-court rule change should come next to men's college basketball?

    I'm sure most will think this one is stupid: Put a rule in to prevent players on the court from meeting with their coaches during clock issues, replays, etc. These already take way too long. Then it takes another 30 seconds to break the huddles, clean up the floor and get everyone in place...

    Most epic match of all time. Led directly to a significant rule change.

    The Tennis Channel post game crew was calling it one of the best 3 set men's matches ever. Andy Roddick weighed in and said, while he's not positive of that, however he added that considering that it might be isn't at all absurd. I'm not a big Djok fan, but the on-court post game interviews...

    Let the music play - new Concert Reviews/Experiences

    I encountered this also for the first time at the Widespread Panic show. Was wondering if it was just certain shows. I’ve been on the floor with a GA ticket when it has been absurdly crowded, so it’s a welcome move from my perspective.

    Was rooting for Fowler and Rory, but watching Wyndham Clark grind it out today was pretty impressive. Crazy bogey out of the bushes on 14. A few money up-and-downs. And a tournament winning 197 yard approach shot on 18 to seal it. And more impressive is how he is handling himself at the...
